Clare Computer Solutions (Clare), a San Francisco Bay Area business technology service provider offering computer network support, IT consulting and on-demand IT services to businesses, announces that CEO Brad Mendonsa and President & COO, Ralph Lawhorn, have become the majority stockholders and architects of the company's future.

Mendonsa came to Clare in 2006 as part of a merger between Clare and Golden State Networks, of which he was a co-founder, and has been instrumental in increasing Clare's IT managed services practice, as well as the company's IT consulting business. He took over as CEO in 2011, and has provided considerable influence on Clare's corporate culture shift from a "breakfix" company to a provider of highly professional, proactive IT support and consulting services.

He has served as president for the past eight years and in 2011, added the COO role. A former field engineer, Lawhorn is uniquely qualified to handle the day-to-day operations as well as to guide the company's strategic direction in partnership with Mendonsa.

"We look forward to continuing to deliver world-class IT solutions and service to San Francisco Bay Area businesses," says Lawhorn. "We have an excellent team that ensures that technology goals meet business needs."
